Latest weekly Covid-19 rates for local authority areas in England

Knowsley now has the highest rate in England, followed by Burnley and Liverpool.

Published
A walk-through coronavirus testing facility

Here is Monday’s update of the rolling seven-day rate of new cases of Covid-19 for every local authority area in England.

The figures, for the seven days to September 25, are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government’s testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two).

The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.

Data for the most recent three days (September 26-28) has been excluded as it is incomplete and likely to be revised.

Knowsley has the highest rate in England, with 422 new cases recorded in the seven days to September 25 – the equivalent of 279.7 cases per 100,000 people.

This is up from 152.5 in the seven days to September 18.

Burnley has the second highest rate, up sharply from 157.4 to 269.9 with 240 new cases.

Liverpool is in third place, where the rate has jumped from 165.4 to 262.2 with 1,306 new cases.

Other areas recording sharp increases in their seven-day rates include:

– Newcastle upon Tyne (up from 111.6 to 238.1, with 721 new cases)

– Manchester (up from 140.7 to 207.3, with 1,146 new cases)

– Sunderland (up from 107.3 to 185.8, with 516 new cases)

– Birmingham (up from 96.2 to 145.1, with 1,657 new cases)

The list has been calculated by the PA news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on September 28 on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.
